(Mark Erelli)Wish I could say that I didn't knowIf we held on too tight or just let it all goThinking maybe we'd profit from time spent aloneWe must have been crazy back thenI remember the words you said as you leftWhat you've done I could never forgive or forgetBut inside I was hoping, despite all your regretThat maybe we'd finish as friendsCHORUSI guess it's all true, you know what they sayYou don't know what you've got 'till you've thrown it awayWhen nothing is ventured, nothing is gainedBut some things cannot be so easily explainedLooking back now it's so easy to seeIf I'd just stood by you and you'd just stood by meThat together we'd weather all life's stormy seasWith each other for a captain and crewAnd for all of that time we've invested in loveYou might have thought we could rise above all of this stuffBut what we got in return wasn't nearly enoughTo keep us from singing the bluesI guess it's all true, you know what they sayYou don't know what it's worth 'till you've thrown it away(CHORUS)They say all wounds are healed by the graces of timeAnd that lonely is only a state of mindStill I wish you were walking right here by my sideTo have and to hold 'till the day that I dieI guess it's all true, you know what they sayYou don't know what you've got 'till you've thrown it away
